What is you faith?

Eh…well that’s your belief, I’m a nymph(well don’t ask) and I respect the arts of white magic, and Catholicism.

Black arts, and a twinge of Catholicism, and vampire.

Catholicism? Isn’t that a bit…well… extreme?

…in living, breathing humans and their faith in each other (aka “Love”).

Extreme? why? I said a twinge.

Ah, OK, if it’s just a twinge…

Doesn’t Catholicism frown upon paganism and the like?

pantheist.

hope I spelled that right

What?

Catholicism frowns on everything, stupid…..

i like sndfreQ’s answer. that’s how i would awnser this question in a lighthearted way, but right now i feel like being a bit deeper.

i grew up in a Christian community, but found that everyone i knew was pretty much a complete hypocrit. i’m still figuring what i beleive. all i know right now is that there’s some sort of God out there.
i take ideas from bunches of religions. i read the bible and go to it when i feel i need to, but i’m also quite interested in buddhism and the likes.

Pagans believe in the good and bad in things, they’re tolerant, unlike other religions.

I’m more like a follower of the goddess Aphrodite.

I believe in a kind of “Universal Intellect” that created everything that exists, otherwise, nothing would exist.

I have no idea who or what created Gawd, nor how/when She (or, He) began.

Perhaps all of my questions will be answered, when I die?

i believe in myself, since i’m the only one really trustable…

I am so sick of hearing about magic and vampires.

“Trustable?” Hey, I learned another new word today! Thanks!

@Lefteh: You mean you don’t like catholic half-shade vampires that practice black magic and are thousands of years old and still in high school? For shame.

@Jack: Glad Iwamoto could help you.

That is your dictionary, isn’t it?

Hey We believe in what we believe lefteh if your sick of this, Leave!! this thread.

Dark about the Aphrodite, that’s why me and Wrestle love you.

Hahahahahah….nice.

ownage.

Sorry lefteh got carried away.

@Darknymph: The problem is that even if lefteh – and everyone else – left this thread, it’s not like he and the rest of us will escape the topic….....it has spread to just about every current/recent thread on this site! It’s almost like having Jehova’s Witnesses for neighbours…...there is no escaping the one and only topic that preoccupies them! Some might consider it one-sided and tedious if one is not equally fascinated by the topic.

Fine.

It has infiltrated the site. I don’t have a problem with you believing in that…stuff. I just don’t want to hear about it in every thread. If you think that Fluther is an appropriate venue for attempting to spread witchcraft, dark magic, and vampirism (that might be a word), perhaps you should take a quick look at the Guidelines and refresh yourselves with the goals of the website.

It is.

Hope you read quickly, as I suggested.

It? you referring to us as objects?

[Fluther Moderator]: Everyone involved here understands what the score is here (you know who you are). Please keep the thread on-topic and leave personal attacks for another site…As for trolls, I know of a “spell” to vaporize them-all have been warned ;)

Will play nice now and actually answer the question….

Option 1: “You Faith” is in my opinion, a form of atheism. A faith in one self.
Option 2: My faith is in the world I’m a part of and everyone in it.

@sndfreQ: Thanks for posting that. It’s appreciated, and it’s about time!

Let the trolls go to Askville, if they don’t like it here.

Guys please, @all, just realize we are easily insulted about anything against us, We haven’t had it good since the religion started, and the last thing we need for more insult.

hey who are the trolls? and we like it here.

can we stay on topic please?

On a related note, I realized by the thread how the dichotomy between Christianity and Paganism emerges-it would almost seem that one emerges from the other; I have friends (not Christian or Catholic), who embrace the arts and Wiccan, and I find it interesting perspectives to have of the energies of the world, nature and the human condition…to each his own I say-on the condition that no faith persecuted another for their beliefs.

I lean much more toward Agnostic, and appreciated JA’s thought on Universal Intellect. My father-in-law, a scientist who has never been religious, seems to subscribe to that line of thought as well.

That we can learn from each other, I think is common thread that binds all belief systems. A fellow Flutherer also pointed out an interesting belief system-that of Secular Humanism. Worth checking out if you are of an open mind (google it).

Well you know every religion connects to each other in some way.

The trolls are as-yet unidentified-it was a general warning not directed at anyone in particular.

I am actually a Hedonist who practices Hedonism, and the Wikipedia notes that, “The basic idea behind hedonistic thought is that pleasure is the only thing that is good for a person. This is often used as a justification for evaluating actions in terms of how much pleasure and how little pain (i.e. suffering) they produce. In very simple terms, a hedonist strives to maximize this total pleasure (pleasure minus pain).”

I carry it one step further, in that I try to share my pleasures with others, as long as they are naked, female, and in the same room with me.

You Faith is a video site like YouTube, check it out sometime.

Agreed.

I’m sorry.

I hope you read the rules.

yeano

Seems like a dangerous discussion for some reason, but I’m an atheist. We could discuss the meaning of faith for an atheist, but it would be fair to say that I probably lack “faith” in the sense that you use the word.

well feel free to explain.

@ Necroking. Did you want to define what you mean by “faith”? The standard definitions are pretty wide ranging.

I think the three freaks got banned. Thank you mods!

let’s hope so, some people are better left…banned
